General problems, on sale of tomato, pack.
Since 1932 the trend in tomato production has been decidedly upward
(Table 1). The acreage planted to tomatoes for manufacture for the United
-States in 1932 was 230,510 acres as compared to 442,400 in 1937. The total
■
production processed has increased from a little over one million tons in
1932 to nearly two million tons in 1936 -and 1937. This increased production
has brought about a real problem in marketing tomatoes, especially in the Inter-
mountain area where It is difficult to meet the competition on the larger markets.
